Might it not be true that if you added this additional economic element to what is already now a changed political situation that perhaps that increases their anxiety level a bit about their own situation?

This is a matter of national security, so if you need some changes in the law to help us address this threat, please let us know what needs to be done.

But, of these funds, there's nothing that could be saved that was originally authorized for these three sites.

See why a taxpayer might be a bit skeptical that these three facilities were proposed to be expanded...
